The backgroundView property is new in iPhone OS 3.2. Your iPod touch runs a OS version lower than 3.2.

The backgroundView property of UITableView is only available in iPhone OS 3.2 and later. If your iPod isn't running 3.2 (the iPad OS), which it isn't, or one of the 4.0 betas, you won't be able to use that property.

hey! thanks,

maybe that's why I get that error... any alternative to put an image as background for my Table view?
